This research used the cluster random sampling technique with a sample of 36 teachers from 12 schools (6 private and 6 public schools). The research results showed that the mathematics teacher's skills in utilizing the Merdeka Mengajar platform were in the "not good" category. The quality of learning did not increase, and more students obtained learning outcomes under the KKTP (Criteria for Completeness of Learning Objectives).
